Improvement of the wear resistance of nickel-aluminium bronze and 2014-T6 aluminium alloy by application of alternating magnetic field treatment
(2021-09-15)The present work has used an alternating magnetic field treatment at ambient temperature to improve the wear resistance of nickel-aluminium bronze and aluminium alloy 2014-T6. Pin-on-disc wear tests under lubricating ... -
Improvements in physiological and nutritional developments of tomato cultivars grown at high zinc by foliar application of phosphorus and iron
(2002)Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cvs. "Blizzard", "Liberto", and "Calypso" were grown hydroponically in a controlled temperature (C.T.) room for five weeks. The objective was to investigate the effectiveness of foliar-applied ... -
Improvements Relating to Facial Recognition
(European Patent Office, 2019-01-16)A method of identifying at least one face region having a predominant contribution to face recognition, comprising (i) obtaining a set of face images, (ii) using a face-recognition model to predict a non-occluded identity ... -
Improving access or denying choice?
(2007)This paper addresses the ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ programme and the reports on which it is based. It is suggested that the evidence base favouring particular psychological therapies is not as clear as ... -
Improving Building Energy Efficiency through Measurement of Building Physics Properties Using Dynamic Heating Tests
(2019-04-16)Buildings contribute to nearly 30% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making a significant impact on climate change. Despite advanced design methods, such as those based on dynamic simulation tools, a significant discrepancy ... -
Improving classification of epileptic and non-epileptic EEG events by feature selection
(2016-01-01)Correctly diagnosing generalized epileptic from non-epileptic episodes, such as psychogenic non epileptic seizures (PNES) and vasovagal or vasodepressor syncope (VVS), despite its importance for the administration of ... -
Improving clinical outcome in patients with intestinal failure using individualised nutritional advice
(2009)Patients with intestinal failure are required to adhere to a complex regimen. Written information may increase knowledge leading to improvements in clinical outcomes. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition ... -
Improving Computational Predictions of Cis-regulatory Binding Sites in Genomic Data
(2011-11-25)Cis-regulatory elements are the short regions of DNA to which specific regulatory proteins bind and these interactions subsequently influence the level of transcription for associated genes, by inhibiting or enhancing ... -
Improving Defect Prediction Models by Combining Classifiers Predicting Different Defects
(2018-10-02)Background: The software industry spends a lot of money on finding and fixing defects. It utilises software defect prediction models to identify code that is likely to be defective. Prediction models have, however, reached ... -
Improving discernment in DEA using profiling
(1996)The failure of data envelopment analysis to provide adequate discrimination between a small number of alternatives is illustrated using a facility location problem. A straightforward modification which finds a desirability ... -
Improving Displacement Measurement for Evaluating Longitudinal Road Profiles
(2018-05-01)This paper introduces a half-wavelength peak matching (HWPM) model, which improves the accuracy of vehicle based longitudinal road profilers used in evaluating road unevenness and mega-textures. In this application, the ... -
Improving explosive nucleosynthesis models via (n,alpha) measurements
(2001-05-21)In explosive environments, (gamma,alpha) reactions constitute some of the most important links in the nucleosynthesis chains. However. it is very unlikely that the rates for most of these reactions will be determined by ... -
Improving Learning for Embodied Agents in Dynamic--Environments by State Factorisation
(2004)A new reinforcement learning algorithm designed--specifically for robots and embodied systems--is described. Conventional reinforcement learning methods intended for learning general tasks suffer from a number of disadvantages ... -
